While browsing through the different Applications you can download for the iPhone/iPod touch, I encountered this little gem.

It's called "Conservative Talking Points" and it essentially allows someone to quickly, in the middle of an argument, pick a "talking point" and will have a large series of quick, pre-arranged facts, figures and quotes to back up their point. I figure, if they could produce something like this, is it out of the question to develop a "Revolutionary Talking Points" Application?

I know little about how to go about developing an iPhone application. But something like this doesn't look like anything more complicated than compiling something like say, Wikipedia. If we organised a bunch of talking points and collectively gathered evidence to back it up, we could have an awesome debating tool on our hands.

Word. I know that you have to get a developer license to make iPhone applications, but once you do that I don't think it's incredibly difficult if you have any experience in programming.

I have the "Quotations from Chairman Mao" app. Awesomeness.

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say conservatives are pretty sad people.

problem is that aple controlls the content of the aps. for example the amsterdam coffeeshop app isnt allowed to be spread outside of the netherlands. they also banned some images from an app with drawing from an famous dutch cartoonist. so i imagine you would never get clearance to make an revolutionary app.
your better off making it for android (google) because they dont limmit the content for apps for their platform.

I definitely agree it would be better to produce something like that for the Android OS. Especially with all the attention the Nexus One is getting.

It seems to me that people who know a little bit of Marxist theory, read a little bit of history, and keep up with the news don't really need revolutionary talking points.

What rugged individualists they are!

Do you have something that will free my mind from having to come up with my own independent ideas?

...there's an app for that!

Lool, I think some asshole tried to use that on me at a coffee shop a while ago.. caught me off guard at first, it's a good app, if that is what it was. I thought he was just on the internet. Luckily, I made him lose his cool by mocking him the second time he scampered to his iPhone for backup. Ironically the best defense against a Conservative Talking Pointer is a tried and true Reagan quip: "There you go again."

Somebody should set up a professionally-done wiki full of simple facts and charts that hose the muck off the history of the workers' movement.
